Amber Van Moolenbroek

Being a leader allows Amber to give back to her school, and she says it “fosters my own self-improvement.”

“The role of a student leader, as I see it, is to be a role model. To inspire students, no matter their learning styles, to be prepared for all things.”

Jesselyn Hynard

“I desire to see change within my school community, by creating an environment that encourages engagement and equality.”

Eager to get into the role, Jesselyn has already introduced a cooking club, and “A program that would allow for students to develop their out of school skills, while providing them with funded meals and an environment to build friendships.”

Elizabeth Menzies

Arts Captain

Jasmine Dunkerton

Wishing to give back to the school that influenced her so much, Jasmine is excited to get started promoting the arts.

“I wanted to give back to the school as well as being a drama student. There are not too many opportunities in small towns to become an actor and more,” she said.

“My role is for all students in music, drama, and art, to take on their idea’s listen to make 2024 an important year for their future careers.”
